Publication number: 20080030319Abstract: The present self-configuring emergency event alarm network uses a decentralized (ad hoc or mesh) architecture that does not have a centralized “master” node. In this ad hoc network, any node is capable of behaving as if it were the “master node” by autonomously reporting the alarm event directly to all other nodes in the ad hoc network independent of where the alarm event occurred. The network of alarm devices, therefore, can spread the alarm indication to the entirety of the area covered by the network of alarm devices and can also differentiate between a general alarm indication and the locus of the alarm event.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2007Publication date: February 7, 2008Applicant: Vulano Group, Inc.Inventors: John McKenna, Daniel McKenna, James Graziano

Publication number: 20080033800Abstract: The multi-media object management system functions to manage the delivery of product placements in a Multi-Media Program. The multi-media object management system controls the retrieval of Object Data that comprises a product representation and the integration of this Object Data into a corresponding selected one of the predetermined Multi-Media Object Locations which are components of the Multi-Media Program This enables advertisers to precisely control product placement on a customized basis thereby to dynamically modify the content of the Multi-Media Program on a centralized basis, a regional basis, or as it is delivered to the individual recipient, using recipient-specific data to define the object preferences of the recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2006Publication date: February 7, 2008Applicant: Vulano Group, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Publication number: 20080033812Abstract: The present System For Highlighting A Dynamic Personalized Object Placed In A Multi-Media Program functions to manage the delivery of Object (product) placements in a Multi-Media Program. The multi-media object highlighting system controls the retrieval of Object data that comprises a product representation and the integration of this Object data into a corresponding selected one of the predetermined Multi-Media Object Locations which are components of the Multi-Media Program. In addition, the multi-media object highlighting system produces a representation of the object that highlights the object in the scenes in which it appears. The highlighting can be any human sensible characteristic, such as, but not limited to: flashing, changes in brightness, movement, change in representation, and the like. The highlighting can also include the use of an anomaly, such as a color representation in a black and white multi-media program or vice versa, or out-of-context object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2006Publication date: February 7, 2008Applicant: Vulano Group, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

System for managing the purchasing of dynamic personalized object placement in a multi-media program
Publication number: 20080033802Abstract: The present multi-media object management system controls the retrieval of Object Data that comprises an object representation (such as a product) and the integration of this Object Data into a corresponding selected one of the predetermined Multi-Media Object Locations which are components of the Multi-Media Program. This enables advertisers to precisely control product placement on a customized basis thereby to dynamically modify the content of the Multi-Media Program as it is delivered to the individual recipient. There are a number of methods by which the Multi-Media Object Locations can be brokered, with International, National, Regional, Local, and Personal markets being defined, as well as exclusive rights and conditional rights, all available to the purchaser by means of auction, predefined contracts, or other financial arrangements.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2006Publication date: February 7, 2008Applicant: Vulano Group, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.
